The timing on new enemy types is pretty great, too.\r\rThe only nitpick I can think of is that it's a bit difficult to dodge some of the projectile attacks, since they fly at you faster than you can fall\/fly out of the way. But you can see them coming so it's still dodgable. Just difficult.\r\rIt's a solid game, great work."},{"author_name":"fergarram","author_uid":"46629","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 1:05am","epoch":1450227600,"text":"The eye reminds me of terraria.

One of the best uses of two-button controls I've seen, both fingers need to be doing something at the same time! Makes it pretty fun to dodge and attack, which also feels rewarding thanks to the awesome art. Some music would be nice, but the sound effects suit the game well enough.
